[AdamRoutley]

[DazWood]

Looks the mutts mate, do it

 

[skullmunki]

they look the business mate. although I thought they where Gallardo reps for a minute

 

[LEE69]

Very nice, go for it.

 

[AdamRoutley]

same thought here on both accounts

got em yet ?

 

[turbin]

are those 17" ?

I could use those for my wintertires.....

 

[AdamRoutley]

i would be getting the 17s yes, as i intend to go lower

 

[turbin]

git-r-done!

 

[AdamRoutley]

they are VERY similar..but the end of the spokes split wider if that makes sense

 

[vwbassett]

Look good although in the flesh i think they will look a tad smaller

 

[AdamRoutley]

yer just a tad, but as mines already quite low, and my 17s fill the arches i think this wont matter as il be taking it lower anyway

 

[MDS]

The chop looks hot... I say do it.


I dont really like those wheels, but i do like them on that pic... espcially the color...

Maybe chop them with the diameter of your OEM wheels... so you can see what it will look like in the real world.

 

[AdamRoutley]

gimme 2 seconds then

 

[AdamRoutley]

remember the tyres wont be as high in profile and there will be a little stretch but the drop would cover any arch gap

 

[MDS]

hmmmmmmm ...

What do you think spu ?

I am a little "in the middle" of YES/NO...

Maybe save that cash, and keep yourself busy... polishing the FR ones ?

I just say this, coz i think the FR ones are also cool...

 

[Daz8161]

personally i think they look alot better as 18's, 17's look bit small but still very nice mate

 

[vwbassett]

Still look good but might need the mirror caps coded to the body or wheels.

 

[AdamRoutley]

im thinking the same MDS..could spend the money on other things..i do REALLY like the FR rims, and i saw that you went back to your periodically.

i guess id just like a bit of stretch so i can poke a bit more..

 

[MDS]

Well, for one , I cant remember having seen any LEON on those wheels...

I guess at least theyre not common on a LEON...

Maybe poke around and see other cars with those wheels as a feeler...
